Industrial Design Undergraduate Program

This course covers the fundamental topics required for computer-aided design and production applications in the industrial design discipline. Key topics include analyzing, creating, and manipulating 2D and 3D geometries to understand existing forms and create new ones. Rhinoceros, a current software, will be taught throughout the course.

The aim of this course is to provide students with the basic knowledge and methods related to computer-aided design and production. Students are expected to develop the ability to analyze 3D objects in their environment geometrically and to construct 3D models for design problems.

1. Be able to analyze and generate forms from a geometric perspective,
2. Distinguish the characteristics of curve and surface geometry,
3. Create two- and three-dimensional drawings and models using a computer, and
4. Prepare presentations using a computer.
